This book was a very interesting novel to read. I admit that I did have to do a little research on the Skythian Empire becausw I had never heard of them. I actually found out that empire was located in Asia and stretched from Mongolia to Iran so overall it was very impressive. There is also a touch or Greek mythology as well.
Our main focus is on the character Anaiti who is a princess of one of the tribes. Her father wants her to marry an aging King but she does not want to andd she sets out on another journey in order to achieve peace even if it means bloodshed. On this journey she learns the skills to be a good warrior and becomes close with some of the other warriors as well.
This book was indeed an interesting read from start to ending. It opened my eyes to another empire that I had no idea existed. The history lesson at the beginning was worth it and I can't wait to read what the author comes up with next.
I received an arc copy from Netgalley and all opinions are of my own

More review to come! I really like the writing in this book! I also the Greek mythology! I like how it is very realistic! The characters are very complex! I recommend this for fans of the Amazons!
